Going to the Indiana Passport Offices to Submit a Passport Application
Do you need a new passport and don’t know where to go? There are plenty of acceptance facilities in Indiana. Indiana Passport Offices are in many buildings across the state. You will find them in post offices, county clerk’s offices, courthouses, and public libraries. If you are not sure where to find one nearby, go online and search for passport offices near me. You may get a long list of offices. All of these sites offer the same services and at the same prices. So when you submit your passport form (
DS-11,
Ds-64, or
DS-82),
supporting documents, and
passport fee, the price will be on your choice of the processing options available.
Indiana Postal Service
Indiana Postal Service offers routine or expedited processing for your passport application. The processing options are according to how soon you will travel. Applicants, who will not fly in a month or more, choose the regular processing option due to the processing time. Also, for the cost which is the cheapest compared to the others. It will take 4 to 8 weeks after submitting your documents to get a new passport in the mail.
For others who will travel sooner than four weeks, expedited processing will get you a new passport in 2 to 3 weeks. This choice requires you to provide
proof of travel. You can use your flight itinerary as evidence. Without evidence, the acceptance agent will ask to use conventional processing.
Same Day Service
For anyone who has an expired passport and must travel earlier than two weeks can still do so by hiring an expeditor or go to a regional passport agency. Like expedited processing at the post offices, you must provide proof of travel and other documentation. Also, the cost will be way more to get a new passport in a day or two. Here is the list you must provide to your expeditor:
- Passport form (DS-11, DS-64, or DS-82)
- Passport supporting documents
- Proof of travel
- Two letters of authorization
- Company letter (only for a business trip)
- Emergency proof (just for the emergency trip)
- Pay cost (passport, execution, and expeditor fees)
You can hire an expeditor online, call a toll free number, or go to an office nearby. An appointment is not necessary.
A
regional passport agency operates differently from a private expeditor. You must get an appointment to see an agency by calling the
National Passport Information Center. You will get it at the
Chicago Passport Agency. At your interview, you must submit these documents:
- Passport form (DS-11, DS-64, or DS-82)
- Passport supporting documents
- Proof of travel
- Company letter (only for a business trip)
- Emergency proof (just for the emergency trip)
- Pay cost (passport, execution, and expeditor fees)
Once you have all your documents to give, you will get your new passport.
